Conjugated porphyrin arrays that possess delocalised electronic networks have, for the most
part, been assembled by using alkene or alkyne type bridging units or by directly connecting …

Conspectus This Account is about templates as construction tools: molecules for making
molecules. A template organizes the reactants and provides information to promote …

Scientists in such fields as mathematics, physics, chemistry, biochemistry, biology, and
medicine are currently involved in investigations of porphyrins and their numerous …

Scandium (III)-catalyzed oxidation of meso-meso–linked zinc (II)-porphyrin arrays (up to
dodecamers) with 2, 3-dichloro-5, 6-dicyano-1, 4-benzoquinone (DDQ) led to efficient …

Molecular electronics is, relatively speaking, a young field. Even so, there have been many
significant advances and a much greater understanding of the types of materials that will be …

The genesis of the exploration of electron transfer (ET) in the condensed phase dates back
to the origins of chemistry in the nineteenth century. In 1808 Humphry Davy observed [1] that …

Outlined here are recent synthetic approaches to conjugated step growth1 oligomers and
polymers that possess precisely controlled lengths and molecular constitutions. The current …

Conjugated porphyrin polymers are giant supramolecular chromophores with extraordinary
electrooptical and nonlinear optical properties. Close collaboration between synthetic …

Owing to the central importance of multiporphyrin assemblies in photosynthetic reaction
centers and light-harvesting antenna complexes, considerable attention has been focused …

Synthetic giant multiporphyrin arrays with well-defined architectures are reviewed in terms of
artificial light-harvesting materials. Meso, meso-linked porphyrin arrays and multiporphyrin …
